76ers drop to 0-2 in Toronto on Friday, face Haliburton and the Pacers this afternoon
The Titans are getting spanked as usual, but hey it's still a great day of football. Plus, the Sixers play today too. The UFC had an epic event yesterday. The World Series is on. Halloween in a few days. These are the best days ever frankly.
The Sixers are doing better than the Titans but not by THAT much it seems. It's early in the year but in both games now, the Sixers have not looked too great without Paul George or Joel Embiid. Neither game was a blowout or anything, but they didn't feel all that competitive either. The team is just built for Embiid, and without him the Sixers are left sorta dysfunctional at times. The infusion of a scorer like Paul George will ideally help in a big way.

A lot of what if's and possibilities on paper for the Sixers in 2024. Only two games in but every game counts and today they face a team seriously on the rise in the Pacers. The Pacers are primed to become a championship contender if they improve as they have been.
If the Sixers can bounce back today against a team like the Pacers, it will ease a lot of Sixers fans minds. But if they go 0-3, questions about the depth of this team will slowly become more valid. 82 games in a season is a lot, but three games in is nearly four percent of the season already. Four percent in, and not a win yet is not a great pace.
This Titans game is just getting worse, I can't wait to watch some basketball. I compared the Sixers to the Titans and that is just not fair. The Sixers are wayyyy more competent than the Titans even without Embiid and George.
Go Sixers!!
